To be honest, I'm not sure how much of a loss it is. I imagine there'll be a mainstream launch of figures for other stores and while the hands are a bit of a loss; what they've done with War Machine's launchers honestly turn me off them. Rather than being nterchangable, I'd have much rather have seen them being a single piece that was retractible on both sides of the armour with the gun turret pivoting. Considering how far action figure technology has come in the past 20 years, there's really no excuse for that kind of laziness with desinging and engineering an action figure these days.

Hope we see them down under, although I'm only really interested in a screen-accurate War Machine to replace with WMINO from figure range from the first film. Not a fan of the suitcase armour or the latest version with the odd silver bits and triangular reactor thing.

I'd definitely be interested if they released a Whiplash, Black Widow and some of the other villains/baddies from IM2.

Yeah, but how long after the release of the Starscream and the other TFs did we get them here in Australia? We only got them because Hasbro needed to clear excess stock.....and Australia does tend to be a good "dumping ground" so-to-speak.

Since I have a lot of similar IM figures from previous release only interested in the MV version.Definately need a line of 6" IM villains. The 3.75 scale crimson dynamo in 6" would be sweet as well as a whip lash.I am sure the villain wave will come out at some point.
